RM Assessment is pleased to announce the integration of iChemLabs’ ChemDoodle® Web Components into RM Ava®, our adaptive virtual accreditation platform.
RM currently helps customers deliver online exams across subjects including maths, languages, and science to millions of students globally.
Integrating ChemDoodle into RM Ava will make the online science exam experience even better for future cohorts. Students will be able to draw chemical structures, equations, and reactions directly within their digital exam. Questions can be more interactive and responses more accurate, improving both the candidate experience and the way practical and visual chemistry knowledge is assessed.
ChemDoodle Web Components is a leading software toolkit for drawing, visualising and editing chemical structures. It is used by many organisations to create interactive chemistry interfaces within their products. Bringing this capability into RM Ava represents a major step forward in how science assessments are delivered online.
